Transition

Cross stitch with embroidery floss, no pattern. Just a simple outline and pure intuition.

With this particular series, I revisited an old painting I did in the 12th grade. And it was around this time that I have discovered skateboarding (all board sports to be exact) through the world of the X-Games. I was mesmerized and I felt this surge of energy within me. Watching these athletes “float”, whether on land, snow or water, they embodied freedom and creativity that I was very drawn too. I started watching a lot of board sports videos of people riding, the competitions and reading Thrasher magazines, so I can fully immerse and understand the culture and community. Witnessing the drive, passion, comradery, the support and community care. It was all so amazing to me.

I eventually tried all the various types of board sports, though unsuccessful with skateboarding, long boarding and surfing, snowboarding was the one sport I committed to learning and stuck by it. Even though I am not a die hard snowboarder but a board sport culture enthusiast, I love what this community represents.

Welp Fae Folks,

You know your boy Witchen Craften doesn't usually make serious posts but I figure with my 5 seconds of internet fame coming to a close, I would like to recommend an especially good book that I just found in my local library!✨

Raechel Henderson's Sew Witchy is genuinely my favorite book on both the craft and sewing and I cannot put it down. I don't know why! It's been like eons since I've completed an actual project, let alone anything imbued or enchanted but this book is so incredibly inspiring for everything your witchy heart desires and then some things you didn't know you need but now really, really want (specifically the constellation sleep mask and scented coasters, I'm over the moon thinking about them).

Not to mention, Henderson's associations of the elements with certain sewing tools, like Earth with pins, as they hold the piece together in stable solidarity with itself or scissors being associated with air as what frees and changes the fabric of the piece. I highly recommend even just the early chapters that don't include the design ideas because of just her amazingly interesting insight. That was the first time I like ever consciously read the prologue to a sewing book before and I most definitely don't regret it.

So please check out the book! Whether from your local library or online if said library offers it, or if you can even buy the book! Hell, I plan on getting it because once you open it you straight up don't want to put it down, unless of course, you're starting one of the projects within it. And if you like it, please support Henderson's career and buy a copy! If she's still able to keep writing for a living, then that means another project most likely even better than this, so please check out Sew Witchy!

So one of my work from home duties consists of me making a simple surgical face mask video tutorial.

And well, here is the finalized piece I made from 🖤 for HB.

I'm getting better at making them.

So I decided why not make a nice bag while I'm at it, and bam!

They say I should sell em. Just make crafts!

As if I could make a living off just that....

Halloween Plushies & Pillows 🎃🖤

[vilucard]

You can see my progress grow with just Choly Knight’s pattern.

The shinx was the first plushie I made using @sewdesune‘s dragon pattern. Just changed a bit here and there for pokemon Shinx.

Articuno (currently up for sale here) was my second time using Sewdesune’s pattern. 

And the Al-Mir'aj was created for a friend. Using the Jackalope pattern with slight modification for one horn instead of two antlers. AND with minky fabric
